I've received this message on my inbox just a few hours after deleting my posts (all of them) last night.

I'm just glad to know where they stand.

And yes, I know that a lot of people have unsavory views about that subreddit, but I guess there's just no accounting for taste.

I went to their wiki and looked at their commenting rules. I don't think I see anything about comment editing and deletions:

However, I might have run afoul their "absolutely no bots" policy. I have set my deletion tool to edit my posts before deleting. It might have been detected by their own bots and have flagged my account accordingly.

Getting "caught" as a bot is pretty likely. The first time I mass-edited my posts I got spam asking me to "not spam the subreddit" for every edit in AskReddit. When I re-ran it a few days later they must have fine-tuned that because I didn't get any more from them. But it seems likely that another sub could have had an auto-ban tied to similar bot detection.

[โ€“] megane_kun 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I think so too. I'm pretty sure that's what happened.

I understand the spirit of the rule, they want to keep spambots away from their subreddit. However, the fact that they've never participated in the protest, and that they never have ever thought "hey, this bot has edited and deleted their comments," or even considered what might be the situation, in a subreddit that I've considered to follow both the spirit and the letter of their rules makes me feel a teeny bit salty.

I guess that makes me miss that subreddit a little less, if at all.

It's more likely they muted you. Afaik editing has sort of a timeout for API calls so if you do it too quickly, so your tool needs to delay each edit for a few seconds or it would cause issues. I know Power Delete Suite has not added this feature yet unfortunately.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This version of power delete suite added the feature. Each edit happens after 5.1s, the exact time to ensure no API timeout.

[โ€“] megane_kun 3 points 2 years ago

Thanks for this. I am not in my daily driver (where I've set things up) right now but I'll be checking this out (and whether or not I've used the version without the 5.1s delay) once I come back.
